Rifle-toting New York shooter kills cop, critically injures two others
At least six people have been shot and a police officer has been killed after a rifle-toting gunman strolled into a swanky skyscraper in New York's Midtown and went on a rampage on Monday evening. The gunman entered the building on 52nd Street and Park Avenue at around 6.30pm (8.30am AEST) and opened fire in the lobby before going up to another floor and shooting other people there. The man, reportedly wearing a bulletproof vest, then went up to the 33rd floor and turned the gun on himself, law enforcement sources told the NY Post. The building, in the heart of Manhattan's business district, houses the offices of investment firm Blackstone and the NFL headquarters. A witness on the first floor told The Post that 'it sounded like a barrage of shots … Like an automatic weapon. Like a high-capacity weapon.' 'New Yorkers: there is an active shooter investigation taking place in Midtown right now,' New York City Mayor Eric Adams wrote on X. 'Please take proper safety precautions if you are in vicinity and do not go outside if you are near Park Avenue and East 51st Street.' Chilling images showed the gunman calmly strolling across the Park Ave skyscraper's entry plaza with an assault rifle at his side before carrying out the carnage. Sources told The Post the number of victims are expected to rise and authorities scour the skyscraper in the aftermath of the mayhem. At least one police officer was shot at the scene and died. Two civilians were also struck by gunfire — one of which is also in critical condition, sources said. The suspect barricaded himself inside and was found dead from a gun-inflicted gunshot wound on the 33rd floor, where other victims were being found, sources said. 'At this time, the scene has been contained and the lone shooter has been neutralised,' NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed in a statement to X. The officer who was killed was from the 47 Precinct, but was working a paid detail for the owner of the building, Rudin Properties, at the time of the shooting, sources said. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said that FBI New York Field Office management personnel and agents were responding to provide support at the active crime scene. Meanwhile, two apparent pro-Palestine protesters were arrested outside of the building around the time of the shooting.

Eerie stare of suspected gunman who killed boy, 14, and injured another in University of New Mexico shooting
An 18-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of fatally shooting a 14-year-old boy and injuring another during a terrifying rampage at the University of New Mexico. John Fuentes is accused of opening fire on the teen as he was playing video games inside a dorm room with three other teens around 1:30am on Friday, according to police and the Santa Fe New Mexican. A 19-year-old male student was also left injured in the mayhem. He later showed up at the hospital with gunshot wounds. The teens were inside the Albuquerque dorm room inside the Casas del Rio complex when the shooting occurred. It is unclear why a 14-year-old was on a college campus or why gunfire erupted. Panicked students were seen jumping out of windows after the shots ran out and the incident sparked a shelter in place alert as police frantically searched for the suspect. Fuentes was arrested hours later and a booking photo shows him staring defiantly at the camera. The shooting took place as first-year students were on campus for orientation. It is unclear if Fuentes was a student at the university or whose dorm room they were in. Campus police responded to the incident in the early hours of Friday morning and observed blood and a broken window upon arrival. While performing a security sweep, campus police discovered the 14-year-old's body in the dorm. They notified the New Mexico State Police, who took over the investigation. Authorities determined the four were inside the dorm room when shots rang out, striking the 14-year-old. The three others, including Fuentes, 'fled from the room,' state police said. More than 12 hours later, Fuentes was arrested in Valencia County during a traffic stop and he was taken into custody without incident. He was booked into the Metropolitan Detention Center and charged with first-degree murder, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, and tampering with evidence. 'This is a tragic incident that has had a deep impact on our entire community,' New Mexico State Police Chief Troy Weisler said at a press conference. Jaymar Tasi, who is an offensive lineman on the school's football team, said he was checking on his laundry when he heard four gunshots in the building. His friends saw students jumping out windows and running from the building afterward, he told The Santa Fe New Mexican. 'I just ran upstairs, and I just went back in my room,' he said. Mikey Beck, a student, said he heard gunshots overnight and saw what appeared to be an injured person hiding in some bushes. Two other people jumped out of a dorm window and ran, he told AP. 'It's really sketchy out here. Just being in Albuquerque is really scary,' he told the outlet. The campus was placed on a shelter-in-place order out of an abundance of caution. UNM President, Garnett S. Stokes, said in a statement: 'The safety of our campus and our community remains our utmost priority. 'We understand this incident may be especially distressing for new students and their families who are here this week for orientation. We want to assure everyone that we are fully committed to your safety and well-being.' She went on to say that she was 'deeply saddened by the loss of life and horrified by this act of violence in our campus community'. She also said orientation activities will continue as scheduled. Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham extended her. 'deepest sympathies to the family of the individual who lost their life in this tragedy'. 'Let me be clear: New Mexico law prohibits firearms on campus unless carried by peace officers. New Mexico must do better at reducing gun violence, especially involving our young people. We will not accept this as normal,' she continued. Mayor Tim Keller said his thoughts were with the victim's loved ones and the university community. 'We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of life that occurred today on the University of New Mexico campus,' Keller said in a statement. The university in central Albuquerque has about 23,000 students during the school year. New students have been visiting as part of scheduled orientations ahead of the fall semester, which begins in about three weeks. New Mexico's largest city has struggled with violent crime in recent years, particularly among juveniles. District Attorney Sam Bregman, who is running for the Democratic nomination for governor, has called for state lawmakers to do more to address what he describes as a crisis. The plea for legislative action comes amid violence in New Mexico involving young suspects, including a fatal hit-and-run in Albuquerque and a shooting in Las Cruces in March that killed three and wounded 15 others. Prosecutors, law enforcement and Republican lawmakers have pressed Grisham, who is a Democrat, to convene a special legislative session to address the state's crime problem. Despite voicing her disappointment with the Democratic-controlled Legislature at the end of the last session, the governor has not given recent indications that she will be calling lawmakers back to Santa Fe.
